MALUHIA AT WAILEA WINS AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS MERIT AWARD

Wailea Community Recognized for Landscape Design Excellence

WAILEA, MAUI (November 13, 2003) – Walters, Kimura, Motoda, Inc., landscape architects for the 14 single-family residences at Maluhia at Wailea, has earned its client a prestigious Merit Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects, Hawaii Chapter.

“We are happy to accept this landscape award in the category of Design—Private Residences and Gardens,” said Larry Frej, executive vice president for project developer PRM Realty Group, LLC. “We were judged on quality of design, functionality, relationship to context, ecological responsibility, and relevance to the profession, the public and the environment. This award further enhances our presence and reputation, underscoring our commitment to excellence.”

Walters, Kimura, Motoda, Inc., worked on this project with a closely-knit design team made up of the developer, PRM Realty Group, LLC, the architect, Group 70 International, and the procurement firm Crisscross, LLC. The results are a stunning, intuitive ambience for all 14 residences. Each home complements the next and ties into the common landscaping elements for a uniquely Hawaiian style.

Maluhia at Wailea is a gated 10.5-acre single-family home condominium project on beautiful Mokapu Beach in Maui’s luxury Wailea resort. This community is the only enclave of single-family homes on the ocean in Wailea, consisting of 14 custom-designed residences and a private beach club with full time resident concierge.

The landscape palette consists predominantly of tropical plants including groupings of Coconut Palms, Singapore, Red, and Pink Plumeria trees with varieties of Gingers, Bromeliads and Ferns providing accent, color and fragrance. In the mauka (mountain) areas, Bromeliads, Ferns and Orchids are set in the trees, providing interest at an elevated plane. In the makai (ocean) areas, wind and salt tolerant Hawaiian plants such as Coconut Palms, Beach Naupaka, Akia, Pohinahina and grass prevail. The entire setting is tied together with a meandering stream, fed by cascading waterfalls at the entry and running alongside the pathway to the sea.

Because of Wailea’s ideal climate, the award-winning landscape plan enhances not only the outdoor, but indoor living experience as well. The seamless indoor-outdoor transitions throughout the living quarters further defines each homeowner’s sense of place and reinforces Maluhia at Wailea’s concept of “kipuka” or oasis.

Other PRM projects include the Columbus Hotel in Monaco, Yacht Haven Marina Resort in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Lake Valhalla Estates and The Residences at Jackson Pond.
